2. Several prominent outlets falsely reported that the Trade Act of 1974 gives Trump the legal authority to impose temporary tariffs of up to 15% in response to *trade deficits*
THIS IS NOT TRUE
The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

Evolution over 25 years of SN 1987A at 9 GHZ, showing it growing bigger and w more details over time
Detail of SN 1987A w scale and beam size (resolution)
Happy s39th birthday to SN 1987A- the closest to us since the invention of the telescope! 🥳
Always a good excuse to share my cross stitch evolution over time in radio of SN1987A. Everything is to the correct scale etc bc cross stitch is the original pixel art.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him
In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal. And then – unprompted – he made an admission: – And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.
